He took the time to scout the easiest route to the HOHO boat, returned to us, and provided detailed directions to ease our worries. It was a generous gesture that added so much value to the day.

We enjoyed our tour with Ken; he was friendly and gave excellent advice, including a recommendation for amazing okonomiyaki. However, there was a communication mix-up with City Unscripted that caused some issues. Ken instructed us via WhatsApp to meet at the station, but the day before, an email from the company stated that the meeting point was our hotel lobby and that this instruction was final. Assuming we would be picked up there, we waited, but Ken was at the station. This confusion led to wasted time and extra costs, as we had to take a taxi instead of using our JR Passes on local transport. Despite this logistical hiccup, Ken did a great job guiding us.

Noriko made our layover in Tokyo truly special. As a guide for City Unscripted, she went above and beyond by arranging our transport between the meeting point and our hotel, which was a huge relief.

City Unscripted delivered an amazing private tour of Tokyo that really catered to our specific interests. We visited the serene Meiji Jingu shrine, admiring the historic camphor trees, and experienced the energy of crossing Shibuya. The aerial view of the city was absolutely breathtaking.

My time with Chiara in the Harajuku and Shibuya districts of London was truly exceptional. She packed an impressive amount of insight into just four hours, leading me to unique spots I never would have discovered on my own. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to explore the city like a local.

Exploring London with City Unscripted was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Kieran, combined deep local expertise with a great sense of humor. As a UK expat and professor with deep ties to Japan, he offered unique cultural perspectives that enriched the experience. Despite the playful notion that the UK and US are divided by a common language, we found our communication seamless and effortless. The tour moved at a perfect pace, allowing us to cover significant ground that would have been impossible on our own. His extensive knowledge, honed over years of living in Japan, added a fascinating layer to the London itinerary.

City Unscripted delivered a fantastic tour in Tokyo with Mami. Her deep knowledge of the city’s customs and transit made navigating easy, and her friendly demeanor turned the experience into something truly memorable. Highly recommended.
